How do I restore my Acer laptop to factory defaults with the disks?
I have 3 disks. Disks 1 and 2 of the "Recovery Disks" and 1 disk of the "System Discs". How do I restore my laptop to factory defaults? Alt+F10 on the acer logo at the beginning didn't work. I have restored it before with these disks but I can't remember how.

Go into the system's BIOS by pressing the DEL key (or whatever key the splash screen tells you to press when it boots) Set your DVD drive as the primary boot drive. The user's manual should detail how to do this. Insert the Recovery disk into your computer, save and exit the BIOS, and then wait for the computer to reboot. Press any key when you're prompted to boot from the recovery disk, Acer eRecovery should begin. ~~~~~~~~~ Please note: In the Main section of the BIOS there's also a D2D option which should be set to enabled for the Drive to Drive recovery to work. If it is off, set it to On and then try the ALT+F10 recovery option again. A D2D recovery is faster than recovering from DVD.
